Hmm. Well, wouldn't the fact that other people who used the license (like Linus and the other kernel developers) said that their intentions were different also have an impact? That is, wouldn't it be the intentions of the person choosing to apply it to her software that mattered, rather than the intentions of the author of the license?

Again, IANAL, and we're talking deeply speculatively here...

Sure, Torvalds intentions will propably be the most important in such a
